We have had a fantastic response to our 21/22 BTEC Level 2 academic year and it has been brilliant to see so many enrolments coming from the MOD Cadet Forces, as well as St John Ambulance, The Fire Cadets, Police Cadets, Scouts and Boys Brigade.

Finally we can reveal who our 2022 CVQO Westminster Award finalists are. This is always a bittersweet occasion as we’ve had the privilege of meeting some incredible young people and wish we could take you all to the next stage.

In 2016, at the age of 14, I left school as I was the victim of persistent bullying which required intervention. The bullying had taken many forms, including digitally, which left me feeling ‘invaded’ as it carried on even when I was home. I became home-educated and after a few months, my mum arranged an evening visit for me to look around the local Sea Cadet Unit.

Last week, our Chief Executive Guy Horridge and Senior Business Development Manager Clinton Riley attended a prestigious ceremony at the Honourable Artillery Company in London to receive CVQO’s Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.

A new report has been released by the University of Northampton and the MOD looking into the impact of the Cadet Forces and CVQO qualifications
